When Italy was the most prestigious league in the World
Maradona Careca in Napoli
Platini and Boniek with Juve
The dutch contingent in Milan
German stars at Inter
Voller in Roma
those guys played more or less at the same time
Later Baggio at Juve, Savicevic with Milan - sooooooooooooo underrated - Batigoal with Fiorentina
The Milan derby with the Dutch big 3 vs the German big 3 was something; they ended up meeting each other in San Siro during the 1990 World Cup for some reason
(And its ironic that Argentina and Diego eliminated Italy in Napoli during the same WC- I'm starting to think the WC was scripted lol)
Good times
Honorable mention : The trio of Mancini-Vialli-Lombardo at Sampdoria
Maradona tried to incite hatred for Neapolitans against the Italy NT, claiming it was a northern Italy team, and they should support Argentina over Italy at the stadium because of him. But that didn't go down too well, Maradona miscalculated his influence over national pride. Italy still got way more support over Argentina, and club rivalries were put aside for that match.
